Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude: Uncut and Uncensored!

4 stars cause Al Lowe isnt involved but this is good comedy game that has a nostalgic feeling to it. when college life was supposed to be a party. that 70's to mid 2000's style of college. if you're playing this to get the juices flowing, you're either gonna dry up or hit the longest edge session with no pay off a man/woman has ever undertaken. the gameplay also isnt great, the comedy is what saves this game. though theres 2 "comedy" spots that reallly didn't age well, you will cringe or you may even get your jimmys rustled if youre one to get rustled easily

Great game. But it crashes, alot. I can't even complete the game because of those crashing issues. Other than that, the games kinda funny - It'd get cancelled fast if it was made these days though.

the game its great and all but the controls are sometimes F*CKED

The game may be a LSL game in name only, but the 3D exploring and minigaming make for a fun enough game. The game's cast of characters is pretty varied, even if heavily reliant on stereotypes, and the voice acting is good. The plot won't win any awards, but it holds everything together. There a lot of different minigames, ranging from Simon Says to Tapper to rhythm games. The controls can be hard to grasp at first, but with some practice most of them become fun instead of a chore. (For example, I really disliked Quarters and Trampoline at first. Quarters was hard to win using the mouse, and Trampoline seemed to ignore some of my keypresses. After a while both became easy and maybe even a bit addictive.) The most annoying thing about LSLMCL is the out-of-place childish humor. A lot of wind gets passed and other bodily functions are in the limelight as well. If the game went for more of a high school drama spoof thing, it would make more sense on the whole. While the toilet humor is there, it's not the only genre the game's going for, luckily... The GOG version is, as the title implies, uncut and uncensored. There's nudity, sex and foul language and if it's done well enough, if that's what you're after. It's not porn, though. From a technical standpoint, the game has aged well. Antialiasing and anisotropic filtering can be forced from the GPU driver (for Nvidia, at least), and the game allows for setting a widescreen resolution in its ini files (namely Larry.ini). It also plays nice with >60Hz monitors. I played it on a 144Hz monitor and everything was smooth. It must be said though that having vertical sync enabled did result in jerky movement on both 60 and 144 hertz modes, so your mileage may vary. Good game, if something of a mixed bag.

...but it bears repeating: this game really isn't all that bad. The pre-rendered videos have some solid chuckles and the dialogue system for seducing women is a neat concept that both rewards success and encourages failure. And the mini-games can be fun... ...to a point. They become very repetitive very quickly and failures in those portions of the game are enraging hair-pulling moments that'll send you running for a good ole' fashion book. Paper, unplugged no-fail bookmark-savepoint books. The sex and nudity are cheeky but grow old quickly. Al Lowe was smart to hold back because the quest for nipples is what we really want, whether we know it or not. Otherwise we'd buy porn. When this game was new, I paid fifty bucks for the game, wanted my money back, and black bars blocked out the naughty bits. But this one's uncensored and it's under ten bucks. A solid buy. Then go out and get the older Leisure Suit Larry games by Al Lowe. They'll blow this one out of the water. And while you're at it, get Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist, if you can find it. It's Lowe's best work, in my humble opinion, and is begging for a remake even more than Leisure Suit Larry.
